USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Harlan coalfield region is captured here during a period of intense industrial activity and residential growth. This 1954 survey shows the dense cluster of mining settlements and rail infrastructure lining the narrow valleys of the Cumberland River, Poor Fork, and Martins Fork. The Louisville and Nashville railroad is the backbone of the region, serving the Harlan Gas works and numerous coal camps like Mary Helen and Lenarue.
